Couple of Beach rides
« on: January 01, 2023, 05:28:27 pm »
Finally got around to posting a couple of GoPro vids of riding around in NB.  BTW, it's considered trespassing to ride on the beach...or so I've allegedly heard

A few days post Fiona on Miscou Island.  There is actually more sand on this beach than before the storm, at the cost of a beach around the point.

Took my wife to her favourite rock hunting spot.  Notice all the lobster gear washed up on the beach?

Really nice!  I could be convinced to ride off road if it meant riding on a beach.  :)

Beaches around my area are a mess and not from Fiona.  We had a big wind storm here just before Christmas that did way more damage to the Fundy coast than Fiona, but we didn't get the full force of Fiona here either.

I've been subscribed to your YouTube channel for years.

We might take a ride out to Shippagan later this year. I want to do it on the BMW R1200 GSA LC; my GF wants to do it in the car.

Nice little campground you could stay at if you make it all the way to the end.    https://campinglavague.com/en-ca/accommodation
R1200 would look right at home in the Miscou Lighthouse parking lot.  See a lot of bikes there, it's a destination ride on weekends.

I could, but my girlfriend could not. We'll likely stay in a B&B or with her relatives that live there.

Missed that back in 2003 when I drove right by Bathhurst on my way to the Cabot Trail, Newfoundland and Labrador on the KLR 650.

That looks like great fun indeed.

That's a nice looking camp ground in a very interesting part of the east coast.  Really nice stop on a motoring east coast adventure.
